Retreat Amidst the trees

Located in the hills overlooking Dunsborough this holiday home enjoys its surroundings to the fullest with its abundant floor to ceiling windows and glass doors.

Low maintenance and energy efficiency combine with quality Tallwood construction, resulting in a holiday home retreat where the owners can come and go as they please.

The home is constructed of concrete with a Spotted Gum timber cladding that was custom milled to the architect’s exact specifi cations. The result is a beautiful contrast between the natural timbers and the manmade concrete which together sit surprisingly well into the surrounding landscape. While beautiful, the treed hill block presented its own challenges during construction. The “goat track” route in for the heavy machinery needed to construct the formed concrete walls made access difficult, though removing the existing trees on the block was not an option.
